Ash Lyrics

he feels the tightening of the noose
the rough feel of her rope on his skin
control invisible
voluntarily concealed
unknowingly ignored then forgotten
like a dog on a leash
answering her call
the train doors open
his heart stops

hollow and forlorn she stands
disappearing almost in the mass of grey
waiting to be through with all
I release the bonds holding you
and see you falling apart

do you remember our time?
do you even remember us?

you expect me to give
what I don't own anymore
I've been taken to the shadows
I stay as the world quits me
night devours us
rain drowns us

losing control on slippery streets among late cars
the last travellers pass me by
whitewashed and painted blank
against the current
all faces blurred
